The Mission of North Hawaii Community Hospital is to improve the health status of the people of North Hawaii by improving access to care and providing high quality services at a reasonable cost.

WELCOME! North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH) is a full service acute care hospital centrally located in Waimea (Kamuela) on the Big Island of Hawaii. Governed by a local board of directors, this community owned non-profit hospital opened in May 1996 and primarily serves the 30,000 residents and visitors of the northern region of the Big Island. NHCH offers a full spectrum of acute care hospital services with a commitment to patient-centered care that treats the patient as a whole person -- mind, body and spirit -- in the context of family, culture and community. Designed as a "healing instrument", NHCH is fast becoming a prototype for the careful integration of select complementary healing practices with high quality medical care.

OUR VISION & VALUES Our vision is to treat the whole individual - mind, body and spirit - through a team approach to patient-centered care, and ultimately to become the most healing hospital in the world. As ohana, we value an environment of aloha which nurtures trust, respect, self-expression , open minds and hearts.
